Volcanea Asteroid

Volcanea Asteroid is an Asteroid Type in the game of Oxygen Not Included. It is a hotter variant of Terra with multiple guaranteed magma vents at most altitudes, not all of which are completely sealed off by Abyssalite, which can bake certain biomes (like the Swamp Biome) into a hot mess of sand and steam. The Space Biome cuts deeper, sometimes resulting in other biomes floating inside of it.

The raised magma vents may result in geothermal power plants constructed with Steam Turbines being more convenient as a power source due to them being physically closer to the Printing Pod.

The "Magma Channels" world modifier does stack with Volcanea's guaranteed magma vents, and may result in the Oil Biome being difficult to find and/or require tunneling through hot Obsidian to reach. Players seeking a challenge may want to give that a try.

Map Layout
No Magma Vent variant in the distance 0-4 from Top.

In Volcanea layout, the Volcanic Biome arises higher, and Space Biome cuts in deeper, sometimes resulting in floating biomes within the Space Biome.

Oxygen
Electrolyze the Water.

Water
Filter the Polluted Water in Swamp Biome, or desalinate the Salt Water in Tide Pool Biome.

Polluted Water
Swamp Biome has Polluted Water.

Raw Minerals
Caustic Biome has Igneous Rock. Swamp Biome and Tide Pool Biome has Sedimentary Rock.

Metal Ores
Caustic Biome has Iron Ore. Swamp Biome has Gold Amalgam.

Reed Fiber
Swamp Biome has Thimble Reed.

Crude Oil
Oil Biome has large quantities of Crude Oil.

Agriculture
Following Plants could be domestically planted once the temperature critera is met:
 * Mealwood

Ranching
Following Critters are available in Volcanea and can be tamed:

Pips are not available in The Volcanea. Player has to wait for Printing Pod to print them, or source them from Space Destinations.

Industry
Volcanea has no issue with industry.

Heat Management
In Volcanea, the Volcanic Biomes occupy more area than other Asteroid Types. It is a challenge to cool down the Volcanic Biome and utilize the heat. Abyssalite breaks may result in adjacent biomes or even the starter biome being overheated, posing a challenge in the early game.

Engineering Details
Volcanea is named Volcanic in game code.
